The Father and Son have emotions, and we can look to scripture to see their perfect examples of how to express them. While on Earth, Christ wept, had compassion, loved, grieved, rejoiced, and was angry. These emotions were balanced with His love and wisdom. We shouldn't try to avoid being emotional, but should seek to live in a balanced way. Emotions are an essential part of our spiritual lives.
